CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- Chinese traditional opera art needs to be inherited. Five years ago, Chongqing Sichuan Opera Theatre selected the first batch of students for promoting Sichuan Opera who are also its first batch of students after Chongqing became a municipality. This June, they graduated and will officially perform on the Sichuan Opera stage. These photos taken in a period of more than half a year recorded their growth.

Chongqing Sichuan Opera Theatre, stands at the junction of fork-shaped Gumufeng Interchange with endless traffic stream outside the white wall. Early in the morning, at Jinshan Avenue in Yubei District, there was a mild and indirect singing from the yard of the Theatre. A girl was practicing singing.

Sichuan Opera is one of the traditional Chinese operas, with origin time unknown. Sichuan opera is composed of five tunes including Kunqiang, Gaoqiang, Huqin, Tanxi and Dengdiao and has rich connotation. On May 20, 2006, with the approval of the State Council, Sichuan opera was included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list.

The Sichuan Opera needs to be inherited but there is a temporary shortage of talents. In June 2014, a selection test was held in a class room of Chongqing College of Culture and Arts and 28 students were selected. The selected students didn’t know that they are the first batch of Sichuan Opera performing candidates after Chongqing becoming a municipality.

The students about ten years old are pure and have no idea about their future but realized that a gate has opened for them. They had culture class, performance class, dance class, physique class, acrobatics class and singing class.

No step, no mile. Hard training is a daily routine and after years’ training, teachers and students become more and more tacit.
